Will President Obama be at home opener?

The Washington Times reported on Friday that President Barack Obama will not attend the Nationals’ home opener on Monday.

When asked if the report was true, Nationals president Stan Kasten said the organization did not get a confirmation from the White House. The Nationals hope to have an answer by Monday.

“We just don’t know. We would love for him to come whenever he can,” Kasten said before the Nationals faced the Braves on Friday. “I do not know if he is coming on Monday. He is a busy guy. His schedule is subject to change.”
